A quick education on what CNN was in the early '90s.

I remember watching live the attempted coup by hardliners in Moscow in 1991 on CNN (the one where Boris Yeltsin hopped on top of tank to rally the crowd outside the parliament and save Gorbachev's government). It was a huge moment at the time and you could only watch it on CNN in the states.

Trump, in his post about Ted Turner's death, claims that "woke" was "everything that he is not all about." Yes, the same Ted Turner who was married to Jane Fonda, wanted universal healthcare, was a staunch environmentalist, called pro-lifers "bozos," and accused Israel of terror against Palestine.

Ted Turner, one of the Greats of All Time, just died. He founded CNN, sold it, and was personally devastated by the Deal because the new ownership took CNN, his “baby,” and destroyed it. It became woke, and everything that he is not all about. Maybe the new buyers, wonderful people, will be able to bring it back to its former credibility and glory. Regardless, however, one of the Greats of Broadcast History, and a friend of mine. Whenever I needed him, he was there, always willing to fight for a good cause! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMay 6(source)

Most of you will hate this, but Turner inventing CNN was a legacy accomplishment and a net positive; he was one of the first people to understand that the world was too big and moved too fast for people to wait for a brief summary of events on the 6:30 p.m. news.

Malone loves power; I don't think he loves the spotlight.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMay 6(source)

The most damning thing I can say is that Turner's direct media-cultural heirs are David Zaslav and Jeff Bezos. That's not his fault, but also, it kind of is.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMay 6(source)

Ted Turner had an instinct for mergers, a lot of charm, an inhuman level of self-confidence, AND a wildly overinflated sense of what he could pull off, and if I were to pick a single deal that represented all of those qualities, it would be "I think I can turn Jane Fonda into a trophy wife."

I'm so old I remember when Ted Turner was America's big media-titan villain. RIP.

This is what "Is this old weirdo ever going to shut up" looks like.

Trump to a group of kids: "We can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon. You might be too young for this. They probably know better than most people. But you can't let a bunch of lunatics have a nuclear weapon. So we just hit records on the Dow."

I can think of one thing that would get a lot of people off of them

Just gonna keep saying it: Drastic SCOTUS reform should be a central part of the 2028 Democratic Party platform, and for Presidential candidates...I don't love litmus tests, but for me, this is becoming one.

They go fast when they want to go fast and slow when they want to go to slow and the decision is *always* an ideological one.

Yes, if there's one thing it's unfair to do, it's to judge what people wear to the Met Gala.

I don't get it--the chance to watch 20 movies in 10 days is the whole point of getting a foot injury.

I took some time out from writing a book to read one! I got asked to write about John of John, the new novel by Douglas Stuart (Booker winner for Shuggie Bain). I almost fled before p. 1 (for reasons detailed below)--but it's wonderful, and very much worth your time. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/b...
